There are several roundabouts in my little corner of Iraq. But all us Americans treat them like 4 way stops... or 4 way roll stops.

Roundabouts?

You're stupid. They're much safer if people aren't being ignorent and retarded. They're much faster for you as well, because most times you don't have to stop. Its just that people here aren't used to them and half the drivers in America deserve to be taken out back and shot because they're selfish, ignorent, and don't know how to drive.

yup you're right people wil figure it out soon. or a least the people who know how to use them will take advantage.

roundabouts are used all over the world. the middle east has them too, you've seen how bad they drive. a stop light doesn't mean shit to them. hell the wrong side of the road doesn't mean shit either.

Uh if you haven't looked around half of the American's are ignorant, selfish, and don't know how to drive. Ok more than half and that comment is uncalled for because since America doesn't have such stringent licensing proceedures like in other countries it just further proves many people do not deserve their licenses.

No doubt. At least they know to get the hell out of the way when they see a big bad Hummer.... that and the whole .50 Cal mounted on top thing.

North Americans just cant drive for shit... nothing short of coming to a complete stop and looking both ways would work, and most of the time people cant even do that right...
